My sister (SDA) revised the always-icky-looking classic chicken and rice recipe. Had to share it with y'all.
Prepared in crockpot instead of oven. Yay for not having to heat up the kitchen! Doubleyay, even!

Use chicken broth instead of water. NO WATER! Don't make me throw canned goods! No matter how much you think it will be okay to use water instead, DUNNA DO IT!
Important note: DO be sure to thaw the spinach first and wring out the liquid and not just toss the frozen block into the cpot: that liquid is N to the asty, NASTY!
You could also use raw spinach instead of frozen, but tear up or chiffonade the leaves and increase the amount to 1 to 1/4-cup.

8) Cover and cook on medium for 4 hours (or low for no more than 6, I'd think), but check for doneness or unforeseen rice drama around 3-1/2 hours and add more chicken broth if necessary, but no more than 1/4 cup or so. This all gets pretty thick when done, so don't let it sit in crockpot for too long after serving everybody or the lingering heat'll make it a gluey, gloppy mess. But you also don't want it RUNNY, thus the additional liquid caveat.
